Marburg Virus Monoclonal Antibodies

ORDERING INFORMATION

Catalog Nos: 18745
Clone No.: FM213
Format: 200ug Protein G-purified antibody in PBS, pH 7.2 per clone

BACKGROUND

Marburg virus is a member of the Filovirus family of RNA viruses. It causes an often fatal febrile disease with hemorrhagic syndrome and is highly contagious. Marburg virus was first detected in 1967 following an outbreak in a German vaccine production facility where production technicians had contact with Ugandan green monkeys. Little is known about the pathogenesis of Marburg virus, and there is currently no effective treatment for the disease it causes.

SPECIFICATION SUMMARY

Antigen: Formaldehyde-inactivated purified Marburg virus.
Host Species: Mouse
Antibody Class: IgG1
Preservative: 0.09% sodium azide

SPECIFICITY

This antibody recognizes high molecular weight protein under non-reducing conditions and ~30kDa protein band under reducing conditions in Western blotting.

APPLICATIONS

Immunoblotting: use at 5ug/ml. A band of approx. 30kDa is detected under reducing conditions.
ELISA: use at 5-10ug/ml.
These are recommended concentrations. Endusers should determine optimal concentrations for their applications.

DILUTION INSTRUCTIONS

Dilute in PBS or medium that is identical to that used in the assay system.

STORAGE AND STABILITY
